. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent lilo. 699,] 03, dated April 29, 1902.

Applicati filed llpril 19, 1901. Serial No.56,57Z (Ndmodel-l To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM F. OoLLEY, a

citizen of the United States, and a resident of of simple constructionthat may be placed.

upon an ordinary stove or range to receive the heat therefrom andbymeans of which the coiTe'e-beans or the like will be uniformly roasted and cleaned.

I will describe a roaster embodying my invention and then pointout the novel features in the appended claims.

Reference is to bejhad to the accompanying drawings, forminga-part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all thefigures.

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation ofa roaster embodying my invention. partly in section.

Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the roaster.

Fig. tis aplan showing a modifled form of base-frame, andFig. 5 is a sectional View of the roasting-cylinder used in connection with the base shown in Fig. 4.

Thebase of the roaster comprises acylinder 1, having an inwardly-extended flange 2, designed to rest upon the top of a stove or range, and extended downward from the inner edge of this flange is a flange3 forengaging against the wall of a lid-op'eriingthrohghe, Supportedupon the up the stove or heater. per end of the cylinder :1 is. a tray like ring 4, which is open at the center or within the circumference of the cylinder 1. Mounted to rotate in standards 5, extended from thetraydle 7, and supported on this shaft is a roasting-cylinder 8, which extends down through the openingin-the tray-likeportion and somewhat into-the cylindrical portion 1. At one side the roasting-cylinder is provided with an opening 9, through which material may be passed into the cylinder, and I provide a sliding cover 10 for this opening. At the end of the cylinder is a sight-opening 11, through ing-cylinder.

Fig. '2'is a planj k which the material may be viewed during the process of roasting, and this opening 11 is nor- =mally closed by a swinging cover 12.

Arranged within theroasting-cylinder are plate-like agitators 13, designed to stir up the coffee, peanuts, or other material during the roasting, so that the heat will reach all parts of the material. Preferably the rows of agitators 13 are placedin a substantially spiral line, as indicated in the drawings. The several agitators of a row are extended inward from a plate 14, which is riveted tothe roast- In Fig. 4 I have shown a base similar in construction to the base first described, although this base 15 is elongated so as to extend nearly or entirelyacross the top of the stove, and for use in connection with this base the-cylinder 16 is made correspondingly long.

To prevent an undue radiation of heat or escape of heatfrom the roasting-cylinder,l employ a cover 17, the side lower edges of which -engage against flanges 18 on the tray-like portion. The side portions of the. cover will yield sufficiently to allow them'to be passed down against thefianges-and tightly hold the cover in place.- The cover is provided with a handle 19, as shown in Fig. 1.

In operation after placing the material to be roasted in theroastingrcylinder the whole device is to be placed upon a stove, range, or other heater and the'roasting-cylinder rotated. The 'llQfLliflOlll the stove will pass up and around the roasting-cylinder, and the material 'within the cylinder will be very quickly and uniformly roasted.-

As-this' device is so easily manipulated, it will be found of great usefulness as a house- 'hold'article. like portion, is a shaft 6, having a ,crank-han--.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A roaster, comprisinga base-adapted to have a portion of it engaged in an openingin a stove-top, a tray-like portion onthe base and of larger diameter than the base, standards extended upward from the tray-like portion, a shaft supported in said standards, a roasting-cylinder mounted on the shaft, and

agitators in the cylinder, said agitators being [-from the tray, a shaft supported in-the standarranged in spirally-disposed rows, substanards, and a roasting-cylinder mounted on the tially as specified. H shaft, substantially as specified.

2. A roaster, comprisinga cylindrical base In testimony whereof I have-signed my 5 having an inwardly-extended flange designed name to this specification in the presence of I 5 to rest upon the top of a stove or range, and two subscribing witnesses.
